[ oh, this topic is disgusting on so many levels. he would gag, but he has to be nice. ]

Then shouldn't you give White an answer now than later? [ ... ] Well, when he isn't cursed. Unless he plans on going home with you.

[sengokus]

[goodbye takeru]

.... that's complicated in a way I can't explain to you. Sorry.

[hm.

he just takes another sip of his sake.]

You know, I thought feelings and stuff were supposed to be way simpler.

[it's all the fucking romcoms]

[dotcom]

[ he does not pry because he truly. does not care enough about white to even want to. horrible. ]

That's what happens when all your experience are from movies.

[ there's a pause there, like he was going to add something but it was

rude ]

[sengokus]

[mineo at least isn't surprised about this.]

Don't say it like it's my fault! I know that you can't insult me, but we both know it's not like I don't try...! I'm just no good at talking to people I like....!

[apparently he'll insult himself in takeru's stead as a kindness

but. ah the alcohol is hitting]

[dotcom]

[ why are they talking about this. why did he down his entire sake cup. mineo you fool. ]

Is that really something you have to be good at?

[sengokus]

[he just

looks at takeru and looks so exhausted]

I don't think I want to hear that from someone who actually has dating experience?

[this is not rude. it's technically a compliment]

[dotcom]

And whose fault is it that you don't...?

[ it's mumbled, and he sighs. ]

Just don't be weird about it.

[ it's not being mean it's just advice ]

[1/2]

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he just shakes his head at that before sipping on his sake]

I'm not gonna worry about it until we're back home. We said early that it'd be dumb to think too much about feelings here, right? I know you said that some things are worth going for, and I agree but...

I don't like doing things halfway.... so as long as I've got you, I don't really want to think about anyone else.

[sips sake casually]

[sengokus]

[REALIZES WHAT HE SAID A SECOND LATE AND CHOKES ON IT AGAIN]

[dotcom]

You have this really funny habit of sounding like you're proposing to me.

[ like he understands what mineo means, since takeru is currently a handful with the whole being one foot in an evil organization's door thing next everything, but

it's still amusing. ]

[sengokus]

[he's just

literally downing an entire glass of water so that he doesn't have to respond to this]

[dotcom]

Uh huh.

[ he takes another sip of the sake ]

[sengokus]

It's just...

[ . . . . . . . hmmmmmmmmmm

no he's going to just refill his water instead of finishing this sentence]

[dotcom]

If you drink any more you're going to piss nonstop later.

[ he were his glass down. ]

It's just what?

[sengokus]

[he opens his mouth to say something rude but he finds that he cannot

instead he's just going to stare really intently at this cup of sake]

.... I still get the feeling that you'll disappear the second I stop running after you, like you're waiting for me to slow down or look the other way 'cause of someone else.

So the answer's just to not stop running.

[whether that sounds like he's proposing, or making his intentions known. he doesn't really care what it sounds like, as long as it gets through to takeru. it's embarrassing when it's said, but it doesn't make it any less true.

and despite the comment he will just down the rest of his cup of sake and make a face after. he really doesn't drink that much. why did he suggest doing this today. anyway he doesn't want to make takeru feel like he's obligated to respond to that when it's just his tipsy mumblings so]

We really do talk about you a lot. But my stuff is still pretty depressing...

[being dead and all]

[dotcom]

... mm.

[ takeru can't really say any of that is untrue, because it's not. even though he depends on mineo for a lot of things, he can't really let go of his backup plan just yet.

so, he switches gears at the first out. ]

Do you want to talk about your stuff?

[ honestly he really does not know how much mineo would want to talk about his stuff so he avoids bringing it up altogether. with him, it really is just completely dependent on him getting his wish or not, so there's no real alternative plans for in case that fails here. ]

[sengokus]

[he doesn't expect anything other than that - but it does manage to make him laugh a little. he won't bring them all the way back but]

Guess I'll be running forever.

[he doesn't sound too put out about it though? ah well, it's worth it, to him.]

Hmm..... I dunno. I don't think so? [his words slur a little, but at least he's not totally gone?] Satake-san used to say that the only good thing about me is that I'm a stubborn idiot who doesn't know how to give up.... [is that a good thing???]

So I'll just do that, now that I've got my reasons not to give up.

[dotcom]

I wouldn't say that's the only good thing...

[ oh. he frowns. ]

... I mean, you know.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . . . . he pauses a little bit

and kindness is not outright asking takeru to list anything else given the fact that they've already done that to each other this week

but he clearly looks very excited and interested to hear what takeru might think is good about him]

.... hmm!!

[dotcom]

[ ....



he just starts drinking his sake ]

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he shifts in his seat and will just also finish the sake in his cup even though he absolutely does not need anymore

but he looks pleased anyway....]

[dotcom]

You're going to have an annoying hangover later.

[ he'll just comment on the drinking instead of the actual topic. ]

[sengokus]

Oh... maybe that's another one of my good things - I tend to skip hangovers.

[it's arguably bc he really doesn't even consume that much alcohol]

[dotcom]

All you have to do is not drink too much.

But you're over drinking now.
